Das Säugetier (1917)
Overview : German propaganda film that mocks the expansion of the British colonies in South Africa, Egypt, India and Jamaica. The film is true to a more serious tone than the stocky British John Bull becomes a giant squid that sends out its tentacles all over the world, and so triggers an attack by German submarines, aircraft and an airship. "The mammal" is an interesting example of early German animated film.
